Love potatos like that. Funny, not only do we have the same Masterbuilt smoker, but the same Weber grill as well. Actually 2 of them (one up at the lake) Haven't done a chicken like this in a while and I have one in the freezer screaming at me to get drunk out on the grill.

Cut an onion in about a 1/3rd and put it right in the 'chimney' of the bird... where the neck and breast come together... Keeps the steam in! I use 1/3 rd a can of beer (good rich nutty beer) and then continue to fill the can to just over half way with a good chicken marinade... that steam along with the onion block really put good flavor to the chicken... a little butter and olive oil (or better yet, butter and bacon drippings!) baste at the end to crisp it up... MMM MMM... Love beer can chickens!

Good Luck!
